Introduction
You will need to order the part, buy some Shoe Goo, and source a blow dryer (hair dryer).
Ce dont vous avez besoin
-
-
Confirm that the hinge is actually broken or split. Indeed, one of my hinges is broken.
-
Sometimes a broken hinge can be accompanied by a second broken hinge since the stress of one broken hinge begins to break the second one.
-
-
-
Order a replacement hinge from your local guitar store, or directly contact Godin for replacement at info@godinguitars.com
-
My supplier/brand was "Godin", the model was "TRIC Case Hinges", and the Color was "GREY".

-
Use Shoe Goo to fill the cavity where the old hinge was previously. WARNING: do not use traditional hot glue gun because it dries up too fast before you even get a chance to put the new hinge on.
-
Put the new hinge in the cavities and apply some pressure to make it sink deep into the hinge cavity.
-
-
-
Fold the guitar case closed and clamp the clips to close it tight. Push the two sides to let excess Shoe Goo ooze out (that sounds so nice!).
-
Put a sack of rice or something heavy on the guitar case to let the glue solidify and dry overnight.
-
Wipe off any excess Shoe Goo that has oozed out with a paper towel or tissue.
-
Transport your guitar with peace-of-mind.

it works... Thanks Silas :). And I have one question that whether I can buy the canvas cover for that case or not. Thank you!!
I don't know whether you can buy just the canvas cover these days. I found this link for you online! https://store.godinguitars.com/usa/35-ca... Looks like they sell the canvas cover with the foam case together.
